THE LIFE OF JUVENAL. 

BY WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQ. 


Decimus Junius Juvenalis, the author of the follow¬ 
ing Satires, was born at Aquinum, an inconsiderable town 
of the Volsci, about the year of Christ 38 . He was either 
the son, or the foster-son, of a wealthy freedman, who gave 
him a liberal education. From the period of his birth, till 
he had attained the age of forty, nothing more is known 
of him than that he continued to perfect himself in the 
study of eloquence, by declaiming, according to the prac¬ 
tice of those days; yet more for his own amusement, than 
from any intention to prepare himself either for the schools 
or the courts of law. About this time he seems to have 
discovered his true bent, and betaken himself to poetry. 
Domitian was now at the head of the government, and 
showed symptoms of reviving that system of favoritism 
which had nearly ruined the empire under Claudius, by 
his unbounded partiality for a young pantomime dancer 
of the name of Paris. Against this minion, Juvenal seems 
to have directed the first shafts of that satire which was 
destined to make the most powerful vices tremble, and 
shake the masters of the world on their thrones. He com¬ 
posed a few lines on the influence of Paris, with conside¬ 
rable success, which encouraged him to cultivate this kind 
of poetry: He had the prudence, however, not to trust 
himself to an auditory, in a reign which swarmed with 



6 


informers; and his compositions were, therefore, secretly- 
handed about amongst his friends. By degrees he grew 
bolder; and, having made many large additions to his first 
sketch, or perhaps re-cast it, produced what is now called 
his seventh Satire, which he recited to numerous as¬ 
semblages. The consequences were such as he had 
probably anticipated: Paris, informed of the part which 
he bore in it, was seriously offended, and complained to 
the emperor, who, as the old account has it, sent the author 
by an easy kind of punishment, into Egypt with a military 
command. To remove such a man from his court must 
undoubtedly have been desirable to Domitian ; and, as he 
was spoken of with kindness in the same Satire, which is 
entirely free from political allusions, the “facetiousness” 
of the punishment (though Domitian’s was not a facetious 
reign) renders the fact not altogether improbable. Yet, 
when we consider that these reflections on Paris could 
scarcely have been published before lxxxiv., and that the 
favorite was disgraced and put to death almost immediately 
after, we shall be inclined to doubt whether his banish¬ 
ment actually took place; or, if it did, whether it was of 
any long duration. That Juvenal was in Egypt is cer¬ 
tain; but he might have gone there from motives of per¬ 
sonal safety, or, as Salmasius has it, of curiosity. How¬ 
ever this may be, it does not appear that he was ever long 
absent from Rome, where a thousand internal marks clearly 
show that all his Satires were written. But whatever 
punishment might have followed the complaint of Paris* 
it had no other effect on our author, than that of increas¬ 
ing his hatred of tyranny, and turning his indignation 
upon the emperor himself, whose hypocrisy, cruelty, and 
licentiousness, became, from that period, the object of his 
keenest reprobation. He profited, indeed, so far by his 
danger or his punishment, as to recite no more in public; 




7 

but he continued to write during the remainder of Domi- 
tian’s reign, in which he finished, as I conceive, his second, 
third, fifth, sixth, and perhaps thirteenth satires; the 
eighth, I have always looked upon as his first. 

In xcv., when Juvenal was in his 54th year, Domitian 
banished the philosophers from Rome, and soon after from 
Italy, with many circumstances of cruelty; an action, for 
which, I am sorry to observe, he is covertly praised by 
Quintilian. Though Juvenal, strictly speaking, did not 
come under the description of a philosopher, yet, like the 
hare in the fable, he might not unreasonably entertain some 
apprehensions for his safety, and, with many other persons 
eminent for learning and virtue, judge it prudent to with¬ 
draw from the city. To this period I have always inclined 
to fix his journey to Egypt. Two years afterwards the 
world was happily relieved from the tyranny of Domi¬ 
tian ; and Nerva, who succeeded him, recalled the exiles. 
From this time there remains little doubt of Juvenal’s be¬ 
ing at Rome, where he continued his studies in tranquility. 

Ilis first Satire, after the death of Domitian, seems to 
have been what is now called the fourth. About this 
time, too, he probably though, of revising and publishing 
those which he had already written; and composed or 
completed that introductory piece, which now stands at 
the head of his works. As the order is everywhere broken 
in upon, it is utterly impossible to arrange them chronologi¬ 
cally ; but I am inclined to think that the eleventh Satire 
closed his poetical career. All else is conjecture; but in 
this he speaks of himself as an old man, 

u Nostra bibat vernum contracta cuticula soleru 

and indeed he had now passed his grand climacteric. 

This is all that can be collected of the life of Juvenal; 
and how much of this is built upon uncertainties ? I hope, 
however, that it bears the stamp of probability, which is 


8 


all I contend for; and which, indeed, if I do not deceive 
myself, is somewhat more that can be affirmed of what 
has been hitherto delivered on the subject. 

Little is known of Juvenal’s circumstances; but, hap¬ 
pily, that little is authentic, as it comes from himself. He 
had a competence. The dignity of poetry is never dis¬ 
graced in him, as it is in some of his contemporaries, by 
fretful complaints of poverty, or clamorous whinings for 
meat and clothes: the little patrimony which his foster- 
father left him, he never diminished, and probably never 
increased. It seems to have equalled all his wants, and, 
as far as appears, all his wishes. Once only he regrets 
the narrowness of his fortune ; but the occasion does him 
honor; it is solely because he cannot afford a more costly 
sacrifice to express his pious gratitude for the preservation 
of his friend: yet “ two lambs and a youthful steer” be¬ 
speak the affluence of a philosopher ; which is not belied 
by the entertainment provided for his friend Persius, in 
that beautiful Satire which is here called the last of his 
works. Further it is useless to seek; from pride or 
modesty, he has left no other notices of himself; or they 
have perished. Horace and Persius, his immediate predeces¬ 
sors, are never weary of speaking of themselves. The life 
of the former might be written, from his own materials, 
with all the minuteness of a contemporary history ; and 
the latter, who attained to little more than a third of Juve¬ 
nal’s age, has left nothing to be desired on the only 
topics which could interest posterity—his parent, his 
preceptor, and his course of studies. 


SATIRE I. 


ARGUMENT. 

This Satire seems, from several incidental circum¬ 
stances, to have been produced subsequently to most 
of them ; and was probably drawn up after the author 
had determined to collect and publish his works, as a 
kind of Introduction. 

He abruptly breaks silence with an impassioned com¬ 
plaint of the importunity of bad writers, and a resolu¬ 
tion of retaliating upon them ; and after ridiculing their 
frivolous taste in the choice of their subjects, declares his 
own intentions to devote himself to Satire. After ex¬ 
posing the corruption of men, the profligacy of women, 
the luxury of courtiers, the baseness of informers and 
fortune-hunters, the treachery of guardians, and the 
peculation of officers of state, he censures the general 
passion for gambling, the servile rapacity of the patri¬ 
cians, the avarice and gluttony of the rich, and the misera¬ 
ble poverty and subjection of their dependents; and after 
some bitter reflections on the danger of satirizing living 
villany, concludes with a resolution to attack it under 
the mask of departed names. 

Semper ego auditor tantum ? nunquamne repo- 

Aiways I a-liearer only ? never shall-

SATIRE II. 


ARGUMENT. 


This Satire contains an animated attack upon the 
hypocrisy of the philosophers and reformers of the day, 
whose ignorance, profligacy, and impiety it exposes with 
just severity. 

Domitian is here the object; his vices are alluded to 
under every different name ; and it gives us a high opin¬ 
ion of the intrepid spirit of the man who could venture to 
circulate, even in private, so faithful a representation of 
that blood-thirsty tyrant.

SATIRE HL 


ARGUMENT. 

Umbritius, an Aruspex and friend of the author, dis¬ 
gusted at the prevalence of vice and the disregard of un¬ 
assuming virtue, is on the point of quitting Rome; and 
when a little way from the city, stops short to acquaint 
the poet, who has accompanied him, with the causes of 
his retirement. These may be arranged under the follow¬ 
ing heads:—That Flattery and Yice are the only thriving 
arts at Rome; in these, especially the first, foreigners 
have a manifest superiority over the natives, and conse¬ 
quently engross all favour—that the poor are universally 
exposed to scorn and insult—that the general habits of 
extravagance render it difficult for them to subsist—that 
the want of a well regulated police subjects them to num¬ 
berless miseries and inconveniences, aggravated by the 
crowded state of the capital, from all which a country 
life is happily free, on the tranquility and security of which 
he dilates with great beauty.

JUVENAL 


v. 1—9. 


SATIRE IV. 


ARGUMENT. 

In this Satire Juvenal indulges his honest spleen against 
Crispinus, already noticed, and Domitian, the constant ob¬ 
ject of his scorn and abhorrence. The introduction of the 
tyrant is excellent; the mock solemnity with which the 
anecdote of the Turbot is introduced, the procession of the 
affrighted counsellors to the palace, and the ridiculous de¬ 
bate which terminates as ridiculous a decision, show a 
masterly hand. The whole concludes with an indignant 
and high-spirited apostrophe. 

Ecce iterum Crispinus; et est mihi saepe 

Behold again Crispinus; and he Is by mo often

SATIEE V. 


ARGUMENT. 

Under pretence of advising one Trebius to abstain from 
the table ofVirro, a man of rank and fortune, Juvenal 
takes occasion to give a spirited detail of the insults and 
mortifications to which the poor were subjected by the 
rich, at those entertainments to which, on accouut of the 
political connexion subsisting between patrons and clients, 
it was sometimes thought necessary to invite them.

V. 1 — 8 . 


73 


SATIRE YI. 


ARGUMENT. 


The whole of this Satire, not only the longest, but the 
most complete of the Author’s works, is directed against 
the female sex. It may be distributed under the following 
heads: Lust variously modified, imperiousness of dispo¬ 
sition, fickleness, gallantry, attachment to improper pur¬ 
suits, litigousness, drunkenness, unnatural passions, fond¬ 
ness for singers, dancers, &c.; gossipping, cruelty, ill- 
manners ; outrageous pretensions to criticism, grammar 
and philosophy; superstitious and unbounded credulity 
in diviners and fortune-tellers; introducing suppositious 
children; poisoning their step-sons to possess their for¬ 
tunes ; and lastly, murdering their husbands.

SATIRE VII. 


ARGUMENT. 

This Satire contains an animated account of the gen 
eral discouragement under which literature laboured at 
Rome. Beginning with poetry, it proceeds through the 
various departments of history, law, oratory, rhetoric, 
and grammar; interspersing many curious anecdotes, and 
enlivening each different head with such satirical, humor¬ 
ous, and sentimental remarks as naturally flow from the 
subject.

SATIRE VIII. 


JUVENAL. 


V. 1 — 7. 129 


SATIRE Vm. 


ARGUMENT. 

Juvenal demonstrates in this Satire, that distinction is 
merely personal; that though we may derive rank and 
titles from our ancestors, yet if we degenerate from the 
virtues by which they obtained them, we cannot be con¬ 
sidered truly noble. This is the main object of the Satire; 
which, however, branches out into many collateral topics— 
the profligacy of the young nobility; the miserable 
state of the provinces, which they plundered and Harassed 
without mercy; the contrast between the state of debase¬ 
ment to which the descendants of the best families had 
sunk, and the opposite virtues to be found in persons of 
the lowest station and humblest descent.

SATIRE IX. 


ARGUMENT. 

The Satire consists of a dialogue between the poet and 
one Naevolus, a dependant of some wealthy debauchee, 
who, after making him subservient to his unnatural pas¬ 
sions, in return, starved, insulted, hated, and discarded 
him. The whole object seems to be, to inculcate the 
grand moral lesson, that, under any circumstances, a life 
of sin is a life of slavery. 

Scire velim, quare toties mihi, Naevole, 

Know I would, why so often me, Naevolus,

JUVENAL. 


v. 1—7. 157 


SATIRE X. 


ARGUMENT. 

The subject of this inimitable Satire is the vanity of 
human wishes. From the principal events of the lives 
of the most illustrious characters of all ages, the poet 
shows how little happiness is promoted by the attainment 
of what our indistinct and limited views represent as the 
greatest of earthly blessings. Of these he instances wealth, 
power, eloquence, military glory, longevity, and personal 
accomplishments ; all of which, he shows have proved 
dangerous or destructive to their respective possessors. 
Hence, he argues the wisdom of acquiescing in the dis¬ 
pensations of Heaven; and concludes with a form of pray¬ 
er, in which he points out with great force and beauty the 
objects for which a rational being may presume to approach 
the Almighty. 

Omnibus in terris, quae sunt a Gadibus 

all in lands, which are from Gades 

2 1

even to the east and Ganges, few to know apart 

possunt Yera bona atque illis multum

180 SATIRE XI. 


JUVENAL. 


v. 1—6. 


SATIRE XI. 


ARGUMENT. 

Under the form of an invitation to his friend Persicus, 
Juvenal takes occasion to enunciate many admirable max¬ 
ims for the due regulation of life. After ridiculing the. 
miserable state to which a profligate patrician had reduc¬ 
ed himself by his extravagance, he introduces the picture 
of his own domestic economy, which he follows by a pleas¬ 
ing view of the simplicity of ancient manners, artfully con¬ 
trasted with the extravagance and luxury of the current 
times. After describing with great beauty the entertain¬ 
ment he proposes to give his friend, he concludes with an 
earnest recommendation to him to enjoy the present with 
content, and await the future with calmness and modera¬ 
tion.

SATIRE XII. 


ARGUMENT. 

Catullus, a valued friend of the poet, had narrowly es¬ 
caped shipwreck. In a letter of rejoicing to their common 
friend, Corvinus, Juvenal describes the danger that his 
friend had incurred, and his own hearty and disinterested 
delight at his preservation, contrasting his own sacrifices 
of thanksgiving at the event, with those offered by the de¬ 
signing legacy-hunters, by which the rich and childless 
were attempted to be ensnared.

202 SATIRE XIII. 


JUVENAL. 


V. 1—8, 


SATIEE XIII. 


ARGUMENT. 

Calvinus nad left a sum of money in the hands of a 
confidential person, who, when he came to redemand it, 
forswore the deposit. The indignation and fury express¬ 
ed by Calvinus at this breach of trust, reached the ear of 
his friend Juvenal, who endeavors to sooth and comfort 
him under his loss. The different topics of consolation 
follow one another naturally and forcibly, and the horrors 
of a troubled conscience were perhaps never depicted with 
such impressive solemnity as in this Satire.

218 SATIRE XIV. 


JUVENAL. v. 1—4. 


SATIRE XIV. 


ARGUMENT. 

The whole of this Satire is directed to the one great end 
of self-improvement. By sho wing the dreadful facility with 
which children copy the vices of their parents, the poet 
points out the necessity as well as the sacred duty of giv¬ 
ing them examples of domestic purity and virtue. After 
briefly enumerating the several vices, gluttony, cruelty, 
debauchery, etc., which youth imperceptibly imbibe from 
their seniors, he enters more at large into that of avarice; 
of which he shows the fatal and inevitable consequences. 
Nothing can surpass the exquisiteness of this division of 
the Satire, in which he traces the progress of that passion 
in the youthful mind from the paltry tricks of saving a 
broken meal to the daring violation of every principle, hu¬ 
man and divine. Having placed the absurdity as well as 
the danger of immoderate desires in every point of view, 
he concludes with a solemn admonition to rest satisfied 
with those comforts and conveniences which nature and 
wisdom require, and which a decent competence is easily 
calculated to supply. 

Plurima sunt, Fuscine, et fama digna

SATIRE XV. 


ARGUMENT 

After enumerating with great humour the animal and 
vegetable gods of the Egyptians, the author directs his 
powerful ridicule at their sottish and ferocious bigotry; 
of which he gives an atrocious and loathsome example. 
The conclusion of the Satire, which is a just and beautiful 
description of the origin of civil society, (infinitely superior 
to any thing that Lucretius or Horace has delivered on 
the subject,) founded not on natural instinct, but on prin¬ 
ciples of natural benevolence implanted by God in the 
breast of man, and of man alone, does honor to the genius, 
good sense, and enlightened morality of the author.

ARGUMENT. 

Under a pretence of pointing out to his friend Gallus 
the advantages of a military life, Juvenal attacks with 
considerable spirit the exclusive privileges which the army 
had acquired or usurped, to the manifest injury of the civil 
part of the community.

MITCHELL’S 

LARGE 

MAP OF THEE WORLD. 

DRAWN ON MERCATOR’S PROJECTION. 


Size, 4 feet 6 inches in Length, by 6 feet 3 inches in Width- 

Mounted oh Rollers. Price, $12.00. 

Folded in Case. " * 

This Map comprises a surface of about 4000 square inches, with a geo¬ 
graphical extent, from east to west, of 360 degrees of longitude, and from 
82° 30' of latitude north, to the ?0th degree south. It exhibits the most 
correct view of the earth, in the map form, hitherto published in this 
country; the researches of the most distinguished explorers, both by sea 
and land; the sailing-tracks of the principal navigators, from the time of 
Columbus to that of the Exploring Expedition commanded by Commodore 
Wilkes; the Routes and Discoveries of Dr. Kane’s Arctic Expedition; the 
Steam-packet and Overland Route to India ; the Various Routes of Travel 
by Sea and Land; the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Routes, and, in fact,' 
embodies all the Recent Discoveries. 

One important feature, and an entirely new one, is the marking of the 
residences of the Consular and Diplomatic Officers of the United State# 
throughout the whole world. 

The particular attention of shipping firms and shipmasters is invited te 
this Map. It supplies a want long felt by them, and only needs examina¬ 
tion to convince any one of its undoubted superiority over any and every 
map of the world yet published. 


RECOMMENDATIONS. 

This is the most perfect map, of its kind, that has yet been published ia 
any oouutry.— N. Y. Herald. 

It is conformed to the latest discoveries in Africa, and in the Arctic and 
the Antarctic circles; it shows all the great pathways across the several 
eceans, with that of the Atlantic Telegraph, that is to be; the nations are 
distinguished by well-contrasted colors; and no labor or expense, appa¬ 
rently, is grudged, to make this the most lucid and trustworthy map of the 

trerld in existence.— N. Y. Tribune.

COMPREHENDED IN EIGHTY-ONE SHEETS, AND FORMING A SERIES OP 

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MAPS AND SECTIONS. 


In one royal folio volume, beautifully bound in half Morocco. Price, $15.00. 


This Atlas is composed of eighty-one royal folio sheets, on which are en¬ 
graved, in the very best style of the graphic art, one hundred and twenty- 
five Maps and Sections. The Maps represent all the known countries on 
the globe; and the Sectional Maps, the vicinities of the chief cities of 
Europe. 

The results of the latest geographical and nautical discoveries are to be 
found on the Maps, including those of the most recent date by Wilkes, 
Nicollet, and Fremont. The Geography of the different divisions of the 
Western Hemisphere is exhibited with a fulness and completeness of detail 
not to be found in any other work of the kind hitherto published in this 
country or elsewhere. 

The coloring of the Maps is done in a neat and correct manner, exhibit¬ 
ing distinctly the boundaries of the different Governments, Provinces, De¬ 
partments, Counties, and other divisions of the countries delineated in tha 
Atlas. 


This Atlas presents a correct delineation of the different parts of the 
earth, so far as accurately determined; and is an authentic work of refer¬ 
ence in a department of knowledge every year becoming more extensive 
Ln its details, and more necessary to be studied and understood by indi¬ 
viduals in all classes of society and in every branch of business. 

The plates from which this Work is printed, were engraved with much 
care and at great expense, and are now brought up to the present time* 
enabling the publisher to present a new edition, which, for correctness, 
style of execution, and real utility, surpasses any work of the kind hereto^ 
fore published in this or any other country. 


The Universal Atlas has been adopted by many schools and academies aa 
a standard for Geographical reference. 


RECOMMENDATIONS. 

The work altogether is creditable, alike to its compiler and publisher, 
and is invaluable wherever critical correctness in respect to countries is a 
matter of importance.— N. Y. Express.

MAY, 1861 . 

From the original picture by Winner, respectfully dedicated to tfc* 
“Defenders op tiie Union,” by the Publisher, 

CHARLES DESILYER, 

1229 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. 


Tliis most beautiful Lithograph, executed by Rosenthal from the original 
painting by Winner, of Philadelphia, an artist of leading and acknowledged 
merit, is now ready for sale. The universal testimony of all that have seen 
it, is, that “ it is perfect.” The subject is the Raising of the Flag at Wash¬ 
ington, on the breaking out of the Rebellion. The Capitol is fully and cor¬ 
rectly represented in the distance; the statues of Washington and Jackson, 
by Clark Mills, are handsomely presented in the foreground. The flag is 
being thrown to the breeze by three children, who, together with their 
young companions by whom they are surrounded, are cheering the troops 
that are passing round in full review. The firing of cannon, the number 
of prominent figures, the artistic grouping, and the beautiful coloring, all 
•ombine to make it one of the most spirited pictures yet presented to the 
American public. In every home in the land which has sent forth a dr;ir 
«ne (and where is there one that has not?) this picture should be found. 
It is a study in itself, and needs only to bo seen to bo appreciated. 

The size of the picture is 27 by 20 inches, and will be furnished cither ia 
sheets, mounted or framed.

HISTORICAL SERIES. 


Pinrock’s England, Greece, Rome, and France, have become school 
classics. In order to make this series more complete, the volumes naee 
been revised by that well-known historian W. C. Taylor. LL. Lb, of Tri- 
uity College, Dublin. 

The popularity of these books is almost without a parallel. Teacher* 
unacquainted with them, will on examination give them a decided prefer¬ 
ence to any other historical series published. 


Fiom the Pennsylvania Inquirer , Philadelphia. 

Pinnock’s Goldsmith’s Greece, Rome, and England. —The popula 
rity of these histories is almost without a parallel among our school books 
Their use is co-extensive with the English language, and their names are 
familiar to all who have received an English education. But if permitted 
to remain as they came from the hands of the author, they would soon be 
antiquated ; for not only is the stream of modern history flowing onward, 
but numerous scholars are constantly making researches into that of 
ancient times. These works are therefore frequently revised, and thus 
the labours of successive individuals are added to those of the gifted man 
who wrote them. The present edition is quite an improvement on the 
former ones. Several important matters which had before been omitted, 
have been introduced into the text, numerous notes and several new cuts 
have been added, and every chapter commences with one or more well 
selected poetical lines, which express the subject of the chapter, and will 
assist the memory as well as improve the taste of the student. We feel 
assured that these additions will increase the reputation which these works 
have hitherto so deservedly sustained. 


From John M. Keagy, Friends' Academy , Philadelphia. 

I consider Pinnock’s edition of Goldsmith’s History of England as the 
oest edition of that work which has as yet been published for the use of 
schools. The tables of contemporary sovereigns and eminent persons, at 
the end of each chapter, afford the means of many useful remarks and 
comparisons with the history of other nations. With these views, 1 cheer- 
ully recommend it as a book well adapted to school purposes. 


From Mr. J. F. Gould, Teacher, Baltimore. 

Having examined Pinnock’s improved edition of Dr. Goldsmith’s History 
al Rome, 1 unhesitatingly say, that the style and elegance of the 'anguuge, 
tho arrangement of the chapters, and the questions for examination ren¬ 
der it, in my estimation, a most valuable school book:—I therefore most 
cheerfully recommend it to teachers, and do confidently trust that it will

Arranged and classified on a new plan, calculated to facilitate greatly their 
acquisition. By L. Manesca. 

EXTRACTS OF NOTICES OF MANESCA’S FRENCH GRAMMAR. 

From the New York Daily Tribune. 

This is no doubt one of the most rational and effective manuals for the 
teaching of languages that has ever been prepared; any person, with an 
ordinary degree of attention, may, with its aid, be certain of obtaining a 
sound, practical knowledge of the French in a short time. The Serial and 
Oral method was discovered by John Manesca, who devoted a life of pro- 
found philosophical investigation to the subject of teaching languages 
The result of his labours was the creation of the system in question. Va¬ 
rious imitations have been made of his matchless method, and it has become 
more widely and popularly known under other names than his own. T he 
most successful imitation is that made by Ollendorff, of Paris, a Ger¬ 
man teacher, into whose hands the system fell by accident, a few years 
since, and who appropriated it as an invention of his own. 

From the New York Evening Post. 

This appears to us a very able work, arranged with great order and 
method, and admirably adapted to the end it has in view. “I call the 
method, the Serial,” says the author in the preface, “because the element# 
of our language are distributed and classified in a series, that is, in a natu¬ 
rally progressive and connected order, conformable to the nature of lan¬ 
guage and to the laws of acquisition of the understanding.” The ele¬ 
ments are arranged, each in its proper place, forming one great chain of 
connected and dependent links. With the aid of this Serial arrangement 
the student is led on by easy steps, from the simpler to the more compici 
part of the language, and acquires it without the vexatious labour, grow¬ 
ing out of the artificial difficulties which false systems create. The terra 
Oral indicates that the method communicates a knowledge of the spoken 
language. 

The cral exercises have been prepared, and are introduced for the pur 
foee ot communicating this knowledge. The serial and oral method is the 
§ame in principle as that which nature employs in teaching the child its 
mother tongue, but being adapted to maturer age, the series of which the 
language is composed, is condensed and greatly abridged, so that 
amount of language can, in a few months, be acquired by the etudeot 
which the child requires years to learn.

LORD’S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES 


A New History of the United States of America, 

FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. 

BY JOHN LORD, A. M., 

flUYBOR OF A MODERN HISTORY FROM THE TIME OF LUTHER TO IBS 
FALL OF NAPOLEON. 

This work is written in the attractive style for which the author ; s w» 
Kited, and is admirably calculated to produce in the minds of pupils who 
•hall use it a love for the study. 

It is beautifully illustrated with numerous fine Engravings, and coniain* 
%n excellent coloured Map of the United States, and several additional 
maps showing the position of various battle-fields and noted places in oui 
history. 

NOTICES. 

From the Philadelphia American Courier. 

This may very safely be pronounced a much needed and at the same 
time a most admirably executed volume for the schools of the country, 
and for which we unhesitatingly predict great popularity and an immense 
demand. Ttie great leading facts in our national history are presented in 
plain, well expressed terms, without verboseness or ambiguity, by one 
who has proved himself to be an able scholar, a just historian, and a pa¬ 
triot of enlaiged, liberal views. It is just the work to give the youthful 
mind right and lasting impressions of the history of the country. 

From the New York Evening Mirror. 

[t is not only an excellent School History, but an excellent general his 
tory, that may be perused with profit by readers of all ages and acquire 
Kents. 

From the Philadelphia City Item. 

This book will supply a deficiency long acknowledged in school litera¬ 
ture. We doubt if any other man in the country is so well calculated to 
write this history. Mr. Lord is a great favourite of ours. His style is 
eminently lucid, vigorous, and comprehensive. We think we can, with¬ 
out fear of contradiction, pronounce him a master of the English tongue. 
With a wealth of language known to but few, he is singularly simple i* 
iis choice of words. His sentences are direct and to the point, and hie 
flatter is always the gist of the story. These are rare qualifications, an 
(most indispensable in a historian. We shall be mistaken if tins weik 
a not at once hailed with acclamation as by far the best school history m 
the United States yet published. It should at once be introduced into oui 
Public Schools. 






HISTORICAL SERIES 


Frvtn William Russell. Editor of the American Journal of Education, 

First Series. 

1 am glad to see that the History of the United States, which you 
announced some time since, has made its appearance. I have been gra¬ 
tified with the perusal of the volume ; and I take pleasure in saying that 
it appears to me in every respect well executed. It avoids the fault with 
which most compilations are chargeable—that of merely sketching a gene- 
i'al outline of the events, too brief and abstract to gain the attention of 
.he student. It is free, at the same time, from injudicious prolixity and 
detail. 

The style is clear, concise and spirited; free on the one hand from the 
ambitious and rhetorical character, and on the other, from the negligence 
and inaccuracy into which most of our popular compends have fallen. 

As a History of the United States, it is, in my opinion, more full and 
more exact than any of the same size, and in all other respects preferable, 
as a book intended to aid the business of instruction. 


We fully concur in the sentiments above expressed:

The design of the author in this, his larger history, has been to furnish 
1 *sxt-book full and complete enough for the use of colleges, academics, 
ar \ the higher seminaries. It begins with the discovery of the New 
\V irld, and presenting the series of events in a clear and connected narra* 
livt, rejecting whatever was considered irrelevant or unimportant, and 
dv el ling chiefly on those striking features of the subject which give 1 *. 
vit idness and character; the history is brought down to the present day, 
* Although,” says the author in his preface, “the considerable period 
-jp-braced, the multitude of characters and events delineated, and th* 
extent of the field in which they figure, have rendered the preservation of 
historical unity no easy task, he has laboured to give the work such a 
degree of compactness as would enable the student to perceive the rcla- 
t ( n of all its parts, and to grasp the whole without any very difficult eicr 
cir? of comprehension.” 

The numerous testimonials to the merit of this work, and its popularity 
fvmced quite unequivocally by the sale of ten thousand copies within * 
row months after its first publication, aflord a strong presumption ttia» the 
author has succeeded in his purpose of making it a first-raie school history

HISTORICAL SERIES. 


FROST S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES 

18MO. 

FOR THE USE OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 

CONDENSED FROM THE AUTHOR’S LARGE HISTORY OF THE UNITED kTATBi 

The smaller history is abridged very judiciously from the laiger ozto 
i/id can be recommended confidently to general use. Many in:erestin§ 
important facts relative to American affairs, in other works of the kind 
om tted, are therein skilfully introduced. The simplicity of the style r.aa* 
not fail to please every attentive reader. The appendix, containing th« 
Constitution of our beloved country, as also a useful Chronological Table, 
will render the work doubly valuable. Both works are in general use in 
mo<«t of the Public and Private Schools throughout the country. 

{£T The above works have recently been revised by the author, and 
brought down to the occupation of the city of Mexico by General Scott. 


The following are selected from a large number of recommendations of 
tke above work, which have been received by the publishers. It has been 
adopted by the Controllers of the Public Schools of the City and County 
of Philadelphia, and by other committees of public schools in varioui 
parts of the country: 

From R. Connolly, Teacher , Baltimore. 

I have examined Frost’s History of the United States, just published, 
and cheerfully recommend it to the attention of teachers as a very superioi 
work of the kind. In style, a most important point in works of this cha¬ 
racter, it is decidedly superior to some of the most popular historical com 
pends now used in our schools and academies. 

From E. B. Harney, Teacher , Baltimore. 

Dear Sir,—I have long felt the want of a good History of »he United 
States and was pleased to have the opportunity of perusing Frost’s. ] 
tin so much pleased with its elegance of language, neat arrangement, 
copious questions, and style of getting up, that I shall at once introduce il 
into iny school, and use mv influence to give it a wide circulation. 


This is 10 certify, that Frost’s History of the United States lias been 
adopted as a class-book by the Controllers of the Public Schools ot th« 
first School District of Pennsylvania, and is in general use in the Publ ' 
School* of the City and County of Philadelphia.

FROST’S AMERICAN SPEAKER,

B Y J. F ROST, 

Author of the History of the United States.—12ma 

The design of this work is to furnish a correct and satisfactory Treatiw 
on the Principles of Elocution in a small space ; and a very rich and copi¬ 
ous collection of specimens of Deliberative, Forensic, Academic, and Po¬ 
pular Eloquence, filling up the greater portion of the volume. It has met 
with a very rapid sale, thousands of copies having been sold since its pub¬ 
lication. The estimation in which it is held by intelligent teachers has 
been attested by recommendations from every quarter. 


From William Russell, Esq., Teacher of Elocution, first Editor of tht 
Journal of Education. 

Dear Sir, —The American Speaker, edited by Mr. Frost, is, I think, 
one of the best volumes for practical exercises in elocution, that instruc¬ 
tors or students can find. The rules and principles laid down in the intro¬ 
ductory part of the book, comprise whatever is most useful in Walker’s 
system, as abridged by Mr. Ewing, of Edinburgh. The com,pends of Mr. 
Ewing were preferred to all others, by the late Dr. Porter, of Andover, 
whose critical knowledge and pure taste in relation to the art of elocution 
are so extensively appreciated. 

The numerous rules on the manner of reading the series —so termed by 
elocutionists—may be differently viewed by instructors, according to the 
extent to which they follow Walker’s authority. But there can be no 
diversity of opinion as to the utility of the other parts of the work, and, 
particularly, the many pieces in which the inflections of the voice are 
marked throughout by appropriate accents. 

Respectfully yours, WM. RUSSELL. 

I consider Frost’s American Speaker to be the best compilation of the 
that has ever met my eye. The principles of elocution therein laid 
lawn are excellent, and well calculated to promote eloquence in every 
jouthful American freeman. The extracts are of a high order, and, is 
general, breathe the spirit of liberty and independence. Giving you my 
bei» wishes for the success of the work, 

1 remain, very respectfully, yours, WILLIAM ALEXANDER.

A TREATISE ON ORATORY AND ELOCUTION, 

WITH NOTES EXPLANATORY AND BIOGR/ PHICAL. 

BY EPES SARGENT. 


This work has been compiled with great care, and conta .*9 a majority of 
pew pieces. It is far more comprehensive than any similar work, and i{ 
adapted for use not only as a Speaker, but to the general reader, as a collet 
lion containing many new, rare, and elegant extracts. 

From among a great number of commendatory notices received froi 
essayists, the press, and teachers of elocution, a few are subjoined. 


From E. I. Whipple, Esq., the well-known Essayist and Critic. 

Wo have no hesitation in saying that this is the best compilation of the 
kind, in the variety and in the comprehensiveness of its selections, which 
has been made on either side of the Atlantic. The various pieces are selectea 
with great judgment from a long array of celebrated orators and writers. 
A good portion of the work is devoted to extracts from late speeches it 
France, England, and America, which have never before appeared in a col¬ 
lection of the kind; and the works of the great masters of eloquence, 
Chatham, Burke, Pitt, Fox, Grattan, Emmett, Shiel, and Webster, have been 
eaiefully studied for new specimens. The original translations from the 
French are admirably executed, and add a novel feature to the work. The 
amount of editorial labor expended on the whole compilation must have 
Vien very great — greater, we think, than that of any other Speaker. 

The introductory treatiso on Oratory and Elocution is a model of con. 
iensation, full of matter, clear, sensible, and available in every part. N A 
•nly is the volume admirably adapted to servo its primal purpose as 
Speaker, but to the general reader it will be found to ho a most stimulate ^ 
and attractive book, better than any work of “elegant extract*” we have 


( 19 ) 



SARGENT’S STANDARD SPEAKER. 


From the Knickerbocker (iV. Y.) Magazine. 

While ho (the compiler) has retained all the indispensable masterpiece^ 
and restored many that have been omitted from the collections the last 
twenty years, he has given an amount of fresh, new, and appropriate mat 
ter, that, will astonish and delight the youthful prize-seeking orators of ouf 
academies and schools. lie has translated from Mirabeau and Victor Huge 
it number of speeches of appropriate length, that will become as familiar &A 
he “ Give me liberty or give me death” speech of Patrick Henry. 


from EL S. Dixwell, Esq., late Principal of the Public Latin School , Bottom 
The volume seems to me to be a very valuable one, and to contain rnori 
Available matter than any book of the kind I ever saw. Beside the old 
standard pieces, you have given us a great many new ones, and, to my sur¬ 
prise, havo put a new vigor into some of the old translations, which makes 
them quite new and redolent of their originals. 


From the Lowell Courier. 

The whole range of ancient and modern oratory, pulpit, forensic, or occa¬ 
sional, as well as of poetry, dramatic, lyrical, or epic, has been explored, and 
the choicest gems from each brought together into this literary casket. The 
volume should be on the table of every friend of elegant letters, as a collec¬ 
tion of rare and beautiful extracts, to be read and read again. 

From the Boston Daily Advertiser. 

The volume deserves to be, what its title claims, a “ Standard 
Speaker.” 


From the New York Express. 

The Standard Speaker is one of the most superbly executed works that 
ever emanated from the American press, and is the best book for the j ur- 
poaes for which it was designed, ever issued in ths language. It must 
become a standard school-book, wherever reading and elocution are taught. 


From the New York Home Journal. 

The chimerical “systems,” through which a short cut to the attainment 
good elocution is promised, are set down at their true value. All th« 
available information on the subject is here summed up. The p?incipal de¬ 
partment is the Senatorial; and this is much more full and satisfactory that 
nything of the kind that has yet appeared in any elocutionary collection. 


It is adapted to the wants of the whole Union, and not of a notion.— N*e 
Jrieans Picayune.

SARGENT’S STANDARD SPEAKER. 


From the Springfield {Mass.) Republican. 

The most thorough in its adaptation to its general purpose, and the most 
extended in its range, of any of the Speakers that have preceded it. The 
book is fresh, the pieces are of the right length, and are selected with most 
critical care. 


From the Salem {Mass.) Register. 

Tt may well be called a Standard Speaker. It eclipses everything of the 
kind hitherto published. It is as perfect in every department as could b« 
desired. 

From Francis Gardner, Esq., Principal of the Public Latin School, Boston. 

I trust that the improvement of the pupils of the old Latin School in elo¬ 
cution, will soon alford you the most gratifying proofs of the good service 
you have rendered them by putting into their hands a collection of pieces so 
admirably adapted to their purposes. 


From G. F. Thayer, Esq., President of the American Institute , and Principal 
of the Cliauncey Place School, Boston. 

The “ Standard Speaker” furnishes by far the best storehouse of oratorical 
matter with which I am acquainted — probably superior to any other in the 
language. 


From the Boston Courier. 

The most complete and valuable of the many works of the kind which 
have issued from the press during the last dozen years. All the old favorites 
of our boyish days are here, together with a large amount of matter which is 
wholly new. It is not so much a Speaker, as the Speaker. 


From Graham’s Magazine. 

The great feature of the work is the completeness of the Senatorial De¬ 
partment. in which he has introduced not only passages of rare beauty and 
effect from Chatham, Burke, Grattan, Shiel, Macaulay, and many others,— 
all the passages of the right length for speaking,—but has given some trans¬ 
lations from Mirabeau, Victor Hugo, and other great speakers of France, 
which will become great favorites in schools and elocutionary classes. 


From the Boston Daily Traveller. 

We are disposed to believe this book will, in very deed, become the Stand¬ 
ard Speaker for our schools, Ac. We know not where the student can find 
so extensive and choice a collection of pieces for declamation. 


( 21 ) 










SARGENT’S STANDARD SPEAKER. 

From the Washington ( D. C.) Republic. 

This Speaker speaks as never Speaker spake before. * * * The work is 
executed with great discretion, to the careful exclusion of every sentiment, 
however eloquently expressed, not fit to be uttered by the most fastidious. 
Whatever we get by heart in our youth, is truly gotten by heart. It is there¬ 
fore eminently desirable to impress the rising generation with sentiments of 
pure and holy patriotism ; to teach them to utter those sentiments with theii 
lips ; to cherish them in their warm, young hearts, and to rivet them there 
for ever. For this truly important object, this volume is pre-eminently useful. 


From the Boston Christian ( Baptist ) Observer. 

It is the paramount duty of him who prepares a work like this, to exclude 
every sentiment whose tendency is mischievous, however eloquently uttered, 
and to suffer nothing there unfit to be treasured through life, and remembered 
in a dying hour. We have examined this work with attention, and are happy 
to perceive that Mr. Sargent has exercised a sound discretion in this import¬ 
ant particular. This work may well claim precedency, longo intervallo, of 
*11 similar productions with which we are acquainted. 


From the New York Commercial Advertiser. 

It deserves to become “ The Standard Speaker” in the highest schools 
throughout the Union. We know no collection of specimens of remarkable 
orators heretofore published, that can be compared with it in variety or 
extent. It has evidently been Mr. Sargent’s aim to compile a work which 
would leave nothing to be desired for educational purposes. There is 
scarcely a name in the catalogue of the world's orators which does not appear 
in the index to this magazine cf eloquence. The editorial labor must have 
been arduous; but it has been performed with great accuracy and dis¬ 
crimination. 


From the Boston Post. 

It has been prepared with care, industry, and good taste, and is no la*y 
gleaning from the labors of others. 


From the Fitchburg Reveille. 

Tho value of the work is much enhanced by an introductory treatise on 
Oratory and Elocution, in which the author has manifested his good sense 
and judgment by rejecting the customary humbug of a tiresome series ol 
artificial rules for reading, by written formulas and rhetorical notation, 
which, during several years of experience as a teacher, we havo found pro¬ 
ductive of no other result than to weary and disgust the young pupil, with, 
to him, an incomprehensible jargon, and a set of useless or cabalistic signs.
